The batters who were able to create a little spark off their bats were only to be met with trouble from Smoke's defense, who allowed just 8 total runs to score. Smoke's hitters sent a major shockwave thru their opponents, scoring 42 runs, making this tournament Smoke's best hitting and pitching performance to date.
